The interesting thing will be what will APA advocate for IF they come to agreeable merger terms.
IF APA comes to agreeable terms with ALPA, they should be advocating for the merger to the pilot group. In the end, the APA reps/leaders will draft language to keep them in position until next cycle of MEC and LEC ALPA elections, so they keep their spots.
